Today's publication of the @covidinquiryuk report into Covid's impact on the NHS comes as bittersweet relief for those of us who worked in those often hellish times. Finally - thankfully - someone in authority has called out the incessant lies from @MattHancock & @BorisJohnson that the NHS “coped” during 2020/21 & “was not overwhelmed”. No, says Lady Hallet. Covid’s impact was “devastating”. Furthermore: “On a number of occasions, [the NHS] teetered on the brink of collapse and only coped thanks to the almost superhuman efforts of healthcare workers and all the staff who support them.” How those lies incensed us at the time. Disgusting, dangerous lies that encouraged the public to believe that ventilators were never rationed, that patients never died at home because there weren’t enough ambulances to reach them, that staff never collapsed and left the NHS for good, broken by the brutality of those Covid wards. “There was clearly overwhelm,” says Lady Hallet. “Whatever word one chooses, healthcare systems were placed under intolerable strain. Patients could not be admitted to hospital and, in particular, into intensive care units. This continued for wave after wave of the virus.” Shame on you, Johnson & Hancock, for spouting endless self-serving populist lies while decent NHS doctors and nurses did their level best for patients - as did so many other magnificent key workers. We owe them all a debt of gratitude.

I invite everyone to pray for the war-torn people of Ukraine and for all those who suffer due to this war and every conflict in the world, so that the long-awaited gift of peace may shine in our days.

NEW: Trump's coup is almost complete. And the attack on the press is a central piece of it. Bezos's gutting of the Washington Post cannot be allowed to be just another blip in the news cycle. We are all going to have to fight for a free and independent press. 1/

Not unbelievable, sadly, but deeply connected. My entire body of work for a decade has been intersection of tech bro impunity, foreign interference & political capture. Attacks on the press are central to this. It’s why they came for me & why I know fighting back is so KEY.

Unbelievable that a man who spent US$75m on a film no-one wants to see about Melania Trump has just fired almost all the foreign correspondents on the newspaper he owns. You might think nothing was happening in this world. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost #SaveThePost

Let us #PrayTogether for our brothers and sisters in #Ukraine, severely tested by the consequences of renewed attacks against energy infrastructure. I express my gratitude for solidarity initiatives promoted by the Catholic dioceses of Poland and other countries, which help the population endure this period of intense cold.

Carole nails this. Starmer must explain why and how Mandelson manipulated his government to give huge contracts to Palantir from almost every Ministry. They should be cancelled.
Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla

NEW: The Mandelson-Epstein scandal is also the Mandelson-Palantir scandal. MP @alexburghart asks why Keir Starmer’s visit to Palantir’s office in Washington - arranged by Mandelson while his firm repped Palantir - was kept off books. 1/

It is shocking how little coverage there is of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine due to Russia's destruction of its energy grid. It's -20C outside and half of the country experienced a total blackout today. Metro trains stopped operating in Kyiv and Kharkiv today. Rolling blackouts have been ongoing for weeks, often with no heating and running water inside people's houses. People get sick and die because of this. In the meantime, Russians laugh and call for more strikes to punish Ukraine for its unwillingness to surrender. These are strikes affecting millions of civilians amid the harshest winter in decades. These are crimes against humanity that Russia is confident it will get away with. We cannot let that happen

A new @LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor survey reveals 28% of respondents knowingly purchased weight-loss jabs #GLP1s from unlicensed sellers on social media and the dark web. This is a clear regulatory failure. It’s time to hold tech platforms accountable for the sale of #fakemeds.

Good on Angelina Jolie for making a brave visit to Kherson, one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine due to Russia's relentless bombing of the city, to highlight the plight of its youngest and most vulnerable residents. As we @FT reported a year ago, Kherson has been the target of an experiment without precedent in modern European warfare: a concerted Russian campaign to empty a city by stalking its residents with attack drones. ft.com/content/31b630…

American actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie visited the city of Kherson, according to local Telegram channels. Suspilne and local outlet MOST also confirmed the visit. Jolie visited medical facilities, including a children's hospital and a maternity hospital.

A Russian drone strike hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv – after a massive attack overnight. Unfortunately, one person has been killed – my condolences to the bereaved family. As of now, seven people have been injured and are receiving medical care. All the children have been evacuated and are now in shelters. Preliminary reports indicate that many are showing acute stress reactions. There is no justification for a drone strike on a kindergarten, nor can there ever be. Clearly, Russia is growing more brazen. These strikes are Russia’s spit in the face to everyone who insists on a peaceful resolution. Thugs and terrorists can only be put in their place by force.

Rescuers and police evacuated nearly 50 children after a Russian drone struck their kindergarten in Kharkiv on the morning of October 22. Tiny hands clung to those protecting them, while emergency workers contained the blaze. One person was killed, and at least seven others were injured. Absolutely no justification exists for attacking children. Ceasefire must come before any negotiations – discussions under strikes like this are impossible. Stopping terrorists requires coordinated actions and strong sanctions from the EU, the U.S., the G7, and all partners committed to peace. The world must respond – immediately.

We must never let footage of tiny children being carried out of schools bombed by Russia become normalized. One moment, learning their letters, the next, clinging to rescuers, confused, crying for their parents, and wiping dust from their faces. Bombed just for being Ukrainian. These are the every day targets and victims of pathetic war criminal Putin and his murderers who hunt children and elderly with drones because they are losing on the front lines and dying for no reason. Humanity is not meant to witness this level of depravity. Russia is a terrorist state and will keep killing until it is stopped.
